These legislative bills were initiated to pre-empt all local zoning ordinances attempting to restrict Marcellus drilling in their municipalities & replace them with weakened "model" State ordinances forced upon them in the attempt to bribe communities into accepting less restrictive ordinances in return for impact fee monies. Drilling would even be allowed in residential areas. These bills are an assault on local governments' sovereignty and the democratic process by allowing corporate gas interests to dictate what legislation will be passed. It is an outrage that must be stopped! Moreover, these bills do not provide adequate setbacks for wells, waterways, etc., do not adequately provide for proper control of air pollution, and do not provide for an adequate tax or impact fee. These bills are a sellout to the gas industry.

This year, the UN has participated in a lot of anti-Israel activity, and we wish to change the UN by asking you, Congresswoman McCarthy, to cosponsor the United Nations Transparency, Accountability, and Reform Act (H.R. 2829), introduced by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. As of January 2, 2012 this bill had 141 cosponsors. We ask you to become the 142nd cosponsor.

Our fight is about taxation without representation and all we ask for is fairness. We believe that if someone is not entitled to any of the protections under federal law for employment related injuries or labor abuses, then one should be provided relief from the taxes that presumably help pay for benefits such as these protections. We ask for this relief.

According to the Congressional Research Service, there is NO federal law requiring psychiatrists to use real medical care so that a patient can recover. Members of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) use only palliative care which cures almost no one. Meanwhile they continue to suppress orthomolecular treatment which has a 90% recovery rate.

No "super committee" cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Disability, or Veteran's payments. To protect the poor, low income, and disabled from further hardships.

I want the same health care plan that Congress has.Why should people that I elected to represent me hane better health care than I do?It is only fair.

The State of California is closing the Southern Youth Correctional Reception Center and Clinic (SYCRCC). This is one of the few remaining facilities left in Southern California for Youth Rehabilitation, and it is by far the best. The closure of this facility will require youths to be shipped to other facilities, far away from parental and community support. Furthermore, those facilities are also scheduled to be closed within the next two years, leaving these youths to be incarcerated in adult prisons. The SYCRCC is the most effective of the DJJ facilities. Most youths enter only being able to read at a third grade level; by the time they are released at age 18, 95% have received their high school diploma. This facility is scheduled to close before year end, but recently there has been a push to close by mid-November, leaving these youths one step closer to facing incarceration in adult prisons with hardened criminals where they will not receive the treatment and rehabilitation they need. But you can help. Join us in petitioning the Governor to keep this facility open and to give these children a brighter future.

I am urging other citizens of the state of Ohio, to tell our new senator, Rob Portman, to do the right thing as a member of the Super Committee.

As the list of animal-derived ingredients in foods and other products grows (gelatin, glycerin, some "natural flavors", etc.), vegans and vegetarians have an increasingly difficult time shopping and eating out at restaurants. Mandatory labeling on foods (and shampoo, toothpaste, etc.) and menus would get rid of the guesswork for this growing demographic, presumably increasing their options and promoting commerce.

BLM IS USING OUR TAXPAYER MONEY NOT TO MANAGE LAND BUT TO MASS MURDER UP TO A MILLION FREE MUSTANGS ACROSS THE USA., ENGAGING IN HORSE GENOCIDE AND STERILIZATIONS, HOLDING OF WILD HORSES IN HORSE CONCENTRATION CAMPS WHERE THEY SUFFER STARVATION, DEHYDRATION,NO MEDICAL CARE, OVERCROWDING, AND KEEPING ALL TAX FREE PROFITS FROM SALES AND EXPORTS OF HORSES TO MEXICO AND CANADA FOR SLAUGHTER, RATHER THAN COMPENSATING OR REFUNDING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WITH THESE PROFITS. FURTHER, BLM HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY IN FEDERAL VIOLATION OF THE WILD HORSES AND BURROS PROTECTION ACT OF 1971 WHICH PROHIBITS THEIR HORSES' GATHERS AND REMOVALS OF HORSES FROM THEIR NATIVE AMERICAN PUBLIC LANDS AND PROHIBITS THE MURDER, STERILIZATION AND ABUSE OF THESE HORSES AND CAPTIVITY.

It's about garnering the support of mainstream America to empower the largest grassroots political revolution on the planet.

Corporate America is all about private property rights... except when it comes to your personal financial information. They lobbied Congress to effect the current "Opt-Out" system where they have free use of your personal information unless you go through their procedure to restrict its use. That's not right. That information is your property and they should get your permission to use it.
